GAZA/PARIS -- Since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip, the majority of the dead and wounded in Gaza are civilians, and medical workers are also coming under fire, the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said today.

Jerusalem, March 10, 2002 — Since November 2000, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has launched two medical and psychological care programs in the Palestinian autonomous territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The programs are intended to benefit people living in areas most exposed to violence, including those close to the confrontation spots, Israeli army installations and Israeli settlements.
